Cooling Problems
Cracked header tank which was leaking badly
![Page 13: AUDIT Report with regard to the MMV Ostrea](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546b13ccb4af9fba128b4ad1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cooling
It is clear for all to see that the engines cooling water had not been inspected or changed in a long while. It was dirty and contained no inhibitor. Any engineer conducting an overhaul would have addressed this problem.

Fuel Delivery Concerns
Leaking injectors caused by loose and defective banjo bolts caused this amount of fuel leakage in each head, within seconds of starting the engines.

Missing Fuel Pump Bolt
One of the fuel pump drive bolts is missing

Other Engine Leaks
As can be seen, several of the engine heads were leaking badly and it would appear that instant gasket has been used to reseat the old gasket rather than repalce it with a new one.

Rudder Problems
Additional length has already been added to the rudders to try and improve the vessels steering prior to purchase.
![Page 36: AUDIT Report with regard to the MMV Ostrea](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546b13ccb4af9fba128b4ad1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Proof of MCA Involvement
This document is one of 7 pages of defects, listing 32 faults or instructions that needed attention onboard the vessel, when it was inspected by the MCA.
This alone should prove that the delivery crew were telling the truth and the procurement of this vessel needs investigated.
![Page 37: AUDIT Report with regard to the MMV Ostrea](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546b13ccb4af9fba128b4ad1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Numerous other photographs are available that show the faults documented in my report, with regard to the MMV Ostrea.
I reserve the right to post these photographs on any public domain to counteract claims by members of staff within the Loughs Agency and the Fisheries Department, that my reports to the DARD Committee on the vessels delivery condition and her dangerous faults, are misleading or false. A legal obligation to report such matters is listed under the Merchant Shipping Act.
I have already posted several videos relating to the delivery voyage on YOU TUBE, under the heading of MMV Ostrea.
Prepared for the information of all interested parties and indeed the public whose income tax was used to purchase this vessel
